18 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $422.29, low $315.98, median $379.19 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,210	145.00	1,755	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,345	136.00	1,829	1thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$1,650	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	—	$1,550	1thin
